Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to electrical power conversion and more particularly to systems and modulation techniques for reducing common mode currents in AC motor drives.
- Power conversion systems convert electrical power from one form to another and may be employed in a variety of applications such as motor drives for powering an electric motor using power from an input source.
- Switching converters include electrical switches actuated in a controlled fashion to selectively convert input power to output power of a desired form such as single or multi-phase AC of a controlled amplitude, frequency and phase to drive an AC motor according to a desired speed and/or torque profile and to provide regulation to accommodate varying load conditions.
- AC motor drives generally provide a controlled AC output via an inverter that converts DC to AC using an array of high-voltage, high-speed semiconductor-based switching devices.
- the inverter switches are actuated through various forms of pulse width modulation (PWM), with the timing of the array switching determining the power conversion performance to convert power from a DC bus to variable frequency, variable amplitude single or multi-phase AC output power.
- PWM pulse width modulation
- the PWM switching states used in the inverter are often modeled in terms of a space vector diagram that includes zero vectors at a diagram origin and non-zero (active) vectors, where such control is sometimes referred to as space vector modulation (SVM) or space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM).
- SVM space vector modulation
- SVPWM space vector pulse width modulation
- SVPWM at low modulation index can generate high common mode (CM) currents due to very small active vector dwell time, resulting in near simultaneous switching on all three phases, leading to large spikes in the bus voltage with respect to system ground, which can adversely impact various components of the drive such as printed circuit boards, magnetic components (e.g. power supply transformers) and power devices, and to drive issues like deceleration inhibit due to bus pump-up.
- CM common mode
- Previous techniques for addressing such common mode issues include the use of common mode capacitors from DC bus to a solid system ground reference to hold that voltage down and also to prevent pump up of the DC bus, but this approach cannot be used in high resistive ground (HRG) systems or in floating systems where the power source is not solidly referenced to ground.

- the switch control system accumulates common mode adjustment amounts for each feedback signal or value in each PWM period and adjusts the value(s) in a subsequent PWM period to compensate for the adjustments made in a previous period.
- the control system may further include reflected wave compensation components and/or deadtime compensation components for further selective adjustment of the feedback signals.
- a method for addressing common mode issues in power conversion systems.
- the method includes providing pulse width modulated inverter switching control signals to a switching inverter to convert DC power for providing AC output power based on feedback signals and the position of a reference vector in a space vector modulation diagram, as well as determining max, mid, and min ones of the feedback signals in each PWM period.

- the PWM power converter control method 200 is illustrated and described below in the form of a series of acts or events, it will be appreciated that the various methods or processes of the present disclosure are not limited by the illustrated ordering of such acts or events. In this regard, except as specifically provided hereinafter, some acts or events may occur in different order and/or concurrently with other acts or events apart from those illustrated and described herein in accordance with the disclosure.
- the process 200 begins for a new PWM period at 202 in FIG. 2A with the switch control system 140 obtaining a current common mode dwell time T dwell — CM .
- the common mode dwell time T dwell — CM is a stored value in a memory of the controller 140 , and which may be determined analytically once maximum output cable length and PWM frequency are known for a given implementation.
- the PWM period T PWM may be 500 ⁇ s for pulse width modulation at PWM frequency of 2 kHz frequency.
- An exemplary value of the common mode dwell time T dwell — CM is about 4 ⁇ s for PWM carrier frequencies of 2 kHz, 4 kHz, and 8 kHz for shielded cable lengths of up to 600 feet.
- the switch control system 140 is operative to receive the common mode dwell time T dwell — CM from an external source 172 , such as from a user interface, another control component, a network, etc.
- a reference vector location is determined (e.g., reference vector 171 in the SVM diagram 250 of FIG. 3 ) based on feedback signals or values and received setpoint information.
- the desired motor position and torque may be represented in terms of the magnitude and angle of the vector 171
- the modulation index is determined at 204 according to the magnitude of the reference vector 171 .
- the switch control system 140 is operative at 205 in FIG. 2A to selectively adjust the common mode dwell time T dwell — CM at least partially according to a modulation index associated with the position of the reference vector 171 in the space vector modulation diagram 250 .
- the dwell time T dwell — CM is increased for lower modulation index values and decreased for higher modulation index values, wherein the relationship can be linear or non-linear and can be maintained for an entire range of modulation index or only over a portion of a modulation index range.
- the controller 140 generates signals or values at 206 which represent the AC phase outputs ⁇ (e.g., u, v, and w) based on the reference vector 171 .
- the controller 144 adds any accumulated adjustment amounts to the phase signals (feedback signals ⁇ ) at 208 from previous PWM periods.
- the common mode reduction component 162 implements selective common mode reduction at each pulse width modulation period T PWM , including determining max, mid, and min ones of the feedback signals or values ⁇ ) at 210 . Based on this determination, the component 162 selectively adjusts one or more feedback signals or values ⁇ higher or lower at 212 to generate common mode compensated feedback signals or values ⁇ ′ based in whole or in part on the common mode dwell time T dwell — CM to provide minimum differences between the adjusted feedback signals or values ⁇ ′.
- this is done according to the following equations (1) and (2): max′ ⁇ mid′ ⁇ 2( T dwell — CM /T PWM ), and (1) mid′ ⁇ min′ ⁇ 2( T dwell — CM /T PWM ).
- FIGS. 4A and 4B show timing diagrams 300 and 320 , respectively, with diagram 300 showing the triangle carrier wave 302 and the feedback signals 3044 ) (u, v, w).
- This diagram 300 also illustrates exemplary switching signals 306 indicating the relative timing of the prospective transitions if the unmodified signals ⁇ were to be used without common mode compensation. As seen in FIG. 4A , such switching provides little spacing between switching transitions, and results in common mode voltage levels 310 and relatively high common mode current levels 312 . As shown in FIG.
- the exemplary common mode reduction component 162 adjusts one or more of the signals or values ⁇ at 212 to generate common mode compensated feedback signals or values 324 ( ⁇ ′) according to the dwell time T dwell — CM using equations (1) and (2) above to provide minimum differences between the adjusted feedback signals or values ⁇ ′. This results in further spaced switching transitions 326 , thereby providing better controlled common mode current levels 330 and 332 as shown in FIG. 4B .
- the inverter control component 144 b may optionally provide additional compensation at 216 for reflected wave reduction and/or for deadtime compensation at 220 .
- the reflected wave reduction component 164 selectively adjusts one or more of the common mode compensated feedback signals or values ⁇ ′ higher or lower to provide reflected wave compensated signals or values ⁇ ′′ based at least partially on one or more reflected wave compensation limit values RWC.
- the reflected wave compensation component 164 adjusts the signals or values ⁇ ′ according to the following equation (3):
- ⁇ ′ are the common mode compensated feedback signals or values (u′, v′, w′)
- ⁇ ′′ are the reflected wave compensated signals or values (u′′, v′′, w′′)
- RWC_min is a lower reflected wave compensation limit value
- RWC_max is an upper reflected wave compensation limit value.
- the RWC limit value(s) can be set by a user, or may be programmed into memory of the controller 140 , and/or may be received by the controller 140 from an external source 172 .
- the controller 140 accumulates adjustment amounts for each phase signal or value for adjustment in a subsequent PWM period.
- the deadtime compensation component 160 is utilized.
- the inverter 110 b includes upper and lower switches for each of the three output phases u, v, and w, a transition in a given phase ⁇ , for instance, from 1 to 0 with the top switch on, the controller 140 needs to commutate and turn the bottom switch on, leading to a deadtime when both switches are turned off (the time between turning the top switch off and turning the bottom switch on (or vice versa)) so as to avoid short-circuiting the DC circuit 150 .
- This is a function of the physical limitations of IGBTs or other switching devices, because the switches don't turn off instantaneously. As shown in FIG.
- a 460 volt motor at 60 Hz nominal may be running at 5 Hz and at a very low voltage, and the error caused by the deadtime (when the anti-parallel diode clamps the phase voltage to either 0 volts or Vdc) can be large, leading to distortion in the output voltage.
- the deadtime compensation component 160 in certain embodiments operates at 220 in FIG. 2B to selectively adjust one or more of the reflected wave compensated signals or values ⁇ ′′ (or the common mode compensated feedback signals or values ⁇ ′ if no reflected wave reduction compensation was done) to provide deadtime compensated signals or values ⁇ ′′′ based at least partially on a deadtime value Td, which can be predetermined, programmed, or obtained from an external source 172 .
- Td which can be predetermined, programmed, or obtained from an external source 172 .
- the process 200 continues with the switching control system 140 generating PWM switching control signals 142 b for the inverter 110 b by comparing the signals ⁇ ′′′ with the triangular carrier wave, whether using direct digital modulation or carrier-based modulation.
- the generated signals 142 b are thus applied to the inverter 110 b in the current PWM period T PWM , and the process 200 returns to 202 in FIG. 2A for the next PWM period T PWM .
- a non-transitory, tangible, computer readable medium such as a computer memory, a memory within a power converter control system (e.g., switch control system 140 in FIGS. 1A and 1B above), a CD-ROM, floppy disk, flash drive, database, server, computer, etc.) which has computer executable instructions for performing the process steps of FIGS. 2A and 2B .
- a power converter control system e.g., switch control system 140 in FIGS. 1A and 1B above
- CD-ROM floppy disk
- flash drive database, server, computer, etc.
- the above disclosure thus provides techniques and apparatus for mitigating the adverse impact of common mode current generated by PWM AC drives on various components of the drive (e.g. printed circuit boards, magnetics, power devices) and overall performance of the drive, while addressing deadtime compensation and reflected wave reduction issues using select common-mode current reduction PWM switching sequences.
